Implementation of an online vampire game using Oracle Spatial
This fun vampire game was created within 4 weeks for a spatial database course as a group. The primary objective of this project was to implement a database in Oracle Spatial to store spatial data, and execute spatial queries and computations. This was achieved by building a game platform. This project contains a number of spatial operations and data structures, allowing us to improve our knowledge of Oracle Spatial, while creating something fun and interactive.
My responsibility within the group: I designed the website and it's styling as well as the database design.
The subject of the game is a vampire who has been stranded in the center of Edinburgh at sunrise and must navigate back to its lair via a network of cafes. Cafe locations are stored as points, while a set of polygons represent “danger zones” in which the player is at risk. A map displays the player’s current location, the lair, all cafes, and danger zones. Spatial queries are used each turn to determine whether a player’s navigational choice results in success or failure.
